This hunting dog is the result of efforts by breeders and hunters in Germany who wanted the best features from such dogs as the Spanish Pointer, various hounds, and the English Pointer. In the 1800s, a dog was developed, good at retrieving on land and water. In addition, this new breed had a great nose for sniffing out game with the hunter on foot. Because of this, many hunters enjoy the German Shorthaired Pointer as an excellent hunting dog and one that needs little training.
